[QUOTE="Dr. Vette, post: 810097, member: 22335"] It's a bit late to come and ask us for opinions when you've already made a decision that apparently can't be changed. It's better to tell us your budget than to ask "how much more should I spend?" If you want great optics I'll tell you that they will cost more than the whole package you listed. :D If you tell us you want the best scope for price $X that's a lot easier. And, there are dozens of thread in the Optics section that answer that question. If the whole thing is a moot point because you can't change your layaway then go ahead and start with your package and go from there. If you're really lucky find someone else who shoots a 25-06 and see if they have 5-10 rounds of various factory ammo for you to shoot and see what works best out of your rifle. Otherwise you might easily buy 3-5 boxes of ammo at $40 each to try them out. Been there, done that. [/QUOTE]
